cleaner wrasse with puffer
would a diodon holocanthicus get along with a cleaner wrasse
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.

I got say, the diodon holocanthicus is a really cool puffer. I was playing around with one the LFS and he was cool. He has so much personality, I wish I could have him with my S&S puffer.

Re: cleaner wrasse with puffer
I have a question, if you kept a cleaner wrasse with a puffer. Would the puffer actually let the wrasse clean it ?

I've seen some pretty big toothy mouths letting cleaner shrimp in there.

my tank has a ceylon puffer (fully marine), a guineafowl puffer and a emperor angel. I was planning on introducing a cleaner shrimp to the tank but not sure if any of my puffers would eat him?

Cleaner wrasses are perfect with puffers.

Re: cleaner wrasse with puffer
I go by the thought that any shrimp is a possible meal for a puffer

Re: cleaner wrasse with puffer
When my ceylon was in high brackish (~.018) I dropped a crayfish in as a treat, and as it dropped to the sand, the puffs took their best shot (the cray was probably 3" and heavily armoured) but then left it alone to crawl around for a couple of days or so before kicking the bucket. I think it's important to consider the introduction method if attempting a big ole shrimp with a ceylon.
